Physician Claims ChatGPT Is Programmed To “Reduce Vaccine Hesitancy”
REPORT: THANKS TO AI, CHINA’S DATA CENTERS WILL DRINK MORE WATER THAN ALL OF SOUTH KOREA BY 2030, and it's not just China
"Training and maintaining AI models is an infamously energy-demanding task that generates a huge amount of heat. To keep data centers from overheating, companies use water to cool down the hardware."
The AI boom is already leading to an astronomical amount of water being used elsewhere, including in the US. Last year, researchers found that just in training GPT-3 alone, OpenAI partner Microsoft consumed a whopping 185,000 gallons of water, which is enough to cool an entire nuclear reactor. Google also admitted in its 2023 Environmental Report that it had used up an astronomical 5.6 billion gallons of water in 2022.
